Coach Charlie Weis will take over offensive coordinator duties for Notre Dame next season, the biggest in a series of changes in coaching responsibilities announced Friday. Defensive coordinator Corwin Brown will share the title of defensive coordinator with Jon Tenuta while adding the title of associate head coach. Tenuta, the linebackers coach, will call plays on defense.

Knee surgeries notwithstanding, coach Charlie Weis can have a happy offseason. Not only did he keep his job -- which appeared in jeopardy for a while -- but Notre Dame built toward bigger things in 2009 with a bowl rout of Hawaii.

UCLA defensive coordinator DeWayne Walker has been hired as New Mexico State's new head coach. He will replace Hal Mumme, who was fired in early December after the Aggies went 3-9 last fall, including a 1-7 mark in the Western Athletic Conference.
